[OOC] I, the Demon King, Will Summon My Own Damned Heroes!

[Lucius Cypher]

Dammit I knew I was forgetting something. Lemme edit my post.

Edited. Orchid is now taking swipes at Ardur. Call it fog of war.

[Zanderkvothe]

Hoy friends, and fiends!

I really like your rp, infact it's the reason I joined this site.

I don't think it would be wise for me to try and join, at the moment. Not just because I am very new to this site, but because currently I only have a phone to work off of.
However, I did want to be able to subscribe and read as your adventure unfolds.

With the Creator's permission I may even adopt this to a tabletop session. Probably simply employment teen D&D 5e rules. But regardless you guys have a fan.

@Zanderkvothe

Hey wanna be my minion? Say yes and I'll put in a good word for ya.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Zanderkvothe I don't know if you'd be accepted right now, and if you are, it would only be on special permission. You might see near the top of the page, just under the title, there's a thing which says 'Join Status: Full'. From what I know, there's three - 'Jump-In', where you join without any prior approval needed, 'Apply', where you can submit an application (usually it's a character sheet), or 'Full' - meaning that the game isn't currently looking for new players. You'd have to ask Zeroth personally, but I don't know if today's a lucky one for you.

@Zanderkvothe
Hey, glad to see someone enjoys it enough to read it even if they're not participating! I'm proud the narrative is engaging enough to draw that kind of attention.

If you'd like to adapt it to something else, I guess feel free as far as the general "idea" goes of Players, playing Monsters, and struggling to survive. You could PM me with questions but I probably won't give away ALL my secrets. ;)

[Searat]

Don't get your hopes too high @Zanderkvothe, Boss does give some secrets but its vague and probably hell just say "You'll have to find out. -winky face-" when you ask something too specific.

[Zanderkvothe]

@CollectorOfMyst
Ah well , darn. I had meant to say "join in anywhere" cause I don't think I could, responsibly, join any group. Things as they are I'd end up being too slow.
Though, honestly I hadn't seen any human inside, but.. i don't know maybe i can find something to tie me over.
Something super casual something supper cassual, pop in pop out ordeal.

@Zeroth
I do mightily appreciate it big boss. Survival is an oft overlooked genre in table top RPGs. I think it has to do with the magic making life much too easy to be engaging.
Presditigidation, Good Berry, create flame, conjure water, hell cast lightning. I guarantee some clever clod will harness it to invent all the modern convinces. I mean, I know a teifling bard and a rock gnome, in a campaign, trying to invent the electric guitar!
But limiting the characters to Challenger rating 1 monsters and taking away classes altogether (at least at first) should make it amply difficult.

Ah, come on now boys!( @Searat , @Zeroth secrets are always better when plundered.

Reeeeaaly wish I could minimize this go grab a link to an alestorm song to link here.

@Lucius Cypher In this economy, who can turn down a job?
Z, at your service.

@Zanderkvothe

Smart lass. Stick with me and your doubts about posting speed will be for naught. I’m good at keeping my minions in line and up-to-date with daily affairs so long as they pertain to me.

First order of business will be making your character. I know you haven’t been given the green light acceptance yet, but knowing what you’re making will help me figure out how to best insert your into the game.

[Zanderkvothe]

@Lucius Cypher
Well seeing as the roster is currently full, and I can't really eat commit to a study schedule of play, it almost, it almosts feels like acting in bad faith to make a character.


That said of course I have a few ideas.

A concept I was originally playing with actually held a lot to do with The Reincarnation aspect. Namely the schism between past life and current life. I thought it might be fun to have a character whom was prone to overthinking, and morally ambivalent things.(think a calmer version of The Church of Euthanasia)
Someone who would jump at the chance of being opted a beastial creatures thinking that that would mean a a release from their theoretical qualms or responsibility.

Though based on other people's post that ends up a poor choice for them. Lol

I think more than this should be saved for pm?

[Zeroth]

@Zanderkvothe

The thing is, we already have so many players that I'm having to try and figure out new ways of formatting my posts or new patterns/cycles to posting to try and strike a balance between not spamming back-and-forth, not running myself ragged keeping up with everything, and not forgetting what people are doing where when what why (and then I seem to constantly miss a detail here and there anyway >_<).

I really hate to discourage anyone, but I think it's partly my failing as a GM and partly just the unwieldy nature of a semi-sandbox RP like this that makes me say I don't think we can handle any more members right now. Given that you've also said you're not sure if you could commit, it might be best if you either use whatever idea you had for your adaptive version, or maybe just wait a while and see if things change in the future for either your schedule, or my competence as a GM.

[Zanderkvothe]

@Zeroth

Yooo, don't beat yourself up. You're doing fine!
Being a gm/dm is exaughsting. There's a reason almost every 'intro to roleplaying' tells you to be greatful to the one running the show.
You're volluntering your hours to entertain us.
And keeping such an open RP straight is like herding cats.

You have my respects.

[ReusableSword]

@Zeroth and its alright to have slip ups and forget or miss what others say, nobody is perfect. no matter how much @Searat thinks they are. but you could always give us random points in skills to make up for it lol.

[Duthguy]

@Zanderkvothe

You might also be interested in From the weakest Goblin to the strongest God, a rp with a similar premise that is open for applicants in case you ever decide to join.

[ReusableSword]

bored... and trying to get others possibly excited about a post lol.

[Haeo]

I... have now read the entire IC and I'm looking forward to reading more. This is an awesome piece of work.

[Zeroth]

@HaeoThanks! I think this is the first time I've ever started getting comments from people who find the RP fun just to read even if they're not playing in it--we've gotta be doing something right, then!

Thanks to all my players too--after all, it's your story these folks are reading.

[Haeo]

You have all been doing an awesome job! If you weren't full already I'd probably have a CS half finished by now, to be honest. Though, I'm pretty sure that you might have objections to a ceiling crawling assassin slime though a goblin specializing in poisoned javelins and darts might be more acceptable...

And,@Zeroth, your method is the most effective GM method that I've seen in a roleplay... period. And I've been roleplaying for about 12 years now.

[Searat]

@Zeroth
Aww shucks, Boss. Don't go mushy on us.

[Pathtowrath]

Not accepting any applications at all?

[Zeroth]

@PathtowrathNot at the moment, sorry. This RP requires me to keep track of a lot of behind the scenes stuff, and I'm barely able to remember how to respond to everyone's posts as I go along as is. If something changes later on I'll try to let those who have expressed interest know.
